Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Emerging Technology is a term commonly used to describe a new technology, but can also refer to the continued development of existing technology; It may have a slightly different meaning when used in various fields such as media, business, science, or education.

Importance Of Emerging Technologies “Now & Today”

Thanks to emerging technologies, ‘intelligent enterprises’ are re-establishing and strengthening the way they do business. Through the use of these tools, they are advancing their organizations in ways that not only meet their business goals, but also benefit citizens, communities and society.

Emerging Technologies in Electrical & Electronics Engineering

A neuromorphic computer is a machine comprising many simple processors / memory structures (e.g. neurons and synapses) communicating using simple messages (e.g. spikes). Neuromorphic computing systems excel at computing complex dynamics using a small set of computational primitives (neurons, synapses, spikes)

Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake. Scientists increasingly view Earth as a dynamic system – a combination of interrelated, interdependent or interacting parts forming a collective whole or entity. On a macro level, the Earth system maintains its existence and functions as a whole through the interactions of its parts, called components.

Smart grids integrate innovative electrical technology at multiple levels to improve flow control, detect malfunctions, and automate service delivery.With end-to-end communication between power plants, distribution sites, and the end user’s electrical point-of-presence, it becomes possible to raise efficiency and reduce costs.

Different engineering approaches have been used to raise collection and distribution efficiency, through perovskite-based cells, which have recently captured the most attention at major research facilities.

A new power converter developer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Arkansas will now make it easier for users of renewable energy to shunt excess energy into the power grid. This has the potential to make rooftop solar initiatives much easier and to further incentivize homeowners to pursue energy efficient technology.

WPT can provide power from an AC source to compatible batteries or devices without physical connectors or wires. It is extremely useful to power electrical devices where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or are not possible.

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, via an electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet.New applications of AR have the potential to revolutionize how electrical systems are managed and maintained, by superimposing current data and virtual objects onto a cabinet, machine or plant, enabling instant issue diagnosis and contactless maintenance.

ever and interface seamlessly with the wider environment.Wearable devices have been developed to authenticate access to vehicles and machinery, improve reading comprehension while engaged in exercise, and provide communication information without the use of a phone. Wearables include devices like smart glasses, such as Google Glass, and smart jewelry, like Ringly. Similarly gadgets like Jawbone, FitBit & GoQii are also gaining lot of traction.

in e-readers, mobile phones and other consumer electronics.

Whereas Nanotechnology has far reaching application in Medical Sciences, Food, Space Research and a number of other fields, it can also be a trend setter in Electronics. It may hold solution to increasing the capabilities of electronics devices while reducing their weight and power consumption.

An electric vehicle may be powered through acollector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery, solar panels or an electric generator to convert fuel to electricity.

increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.

Space Solar Power gathers energy from sunlight in space and transmits it wirelessly to Earth. Space solar power can solve our energy and greenhouse gas emissions problems.

AI is already being extensively used in areas such as Expert Systems, Fuzzy logic control systems & in Artificial neural networks. Machine Learning & Deep Learning are also finding lot of use in technologies like Signal Processing, and safety and maintenance of Power Systems.
